Restaurant description
A welcoming village pub with traditional style and modern gastropub flavours, The Old Lion is an inviting spot for leisurely meals. Dogs are welcome in the bar area, and there are crackling log fires to relax by with a glass of wine or cask ale.
The Old Lion menu is a modern example of British gastropub excellence, with classic dishes sitting alongside contemporary flavours. Artisan breaded brie with a red berry jelly is a great sharer to start off with, moving on to pub favourites like cod and chips or homemade pie of the day. There are rustic pizzas cooked in the stone oven, and succulent steaks and burgers from the grill menu too.
Enjoy generous Sunday roasts at The Old Lion in Rugby, featuring a choice of slow-cooked meats with all the trimmings. Local cask ales and ciders are served at the bar, as well as a concise wine list and extensive choice of international spirits.
A homely pub with modern updates and a gourmet menu, The Old Lion is a 9-minute drive from Rugby Rail Station.

The food was vety good and nicely presented. A birthday cake I'd made was brought to the table without prompting and which made the whole experience very relaxing. Would certainly come again.

Four of us enjoyed dinner celebrating my birthday. The Old Lion has been recently updated, beautifully decorated and the restaurant has a smashing menu. Food was full of flavour, wonderfully cooked and very nicely presented. The owner was doing the waiting in the restaurant, a lovely gentleman and doing his diners proud.

It was a Wednesday lunchtime in mid January so the restaurant was very quiet as you might expect. Food however was excellent. Two of us had the steak and Ale Pie (which we were informed after ordering was on a two for one deal!) and it was one of the best I have ever eaten. Starters were also fantastic. I would highly recommend and will definitely be returning.

I had a very dry falafel burger which was like paste in the mouth. To be honest an improvement would be great. Maybe by adding a nice relish and some crispy salad and tomatoes in the burger, I have ordered a half pint and I have been served a whole pint. The only thing that cheered me up was the interior and cosiness of the pub. Could definitely be better than this.
